Educational podcasts from elite universities

Open Education Database has a great list of 100 podcasts on various subjects from big universities such as MIT, Yale, and Harvard. The formats vary – audio-only vs video, recorded lectures vs. specially produced podcasts – but all offer free educational content to anyone who wants to listen. I can see these being used in flipped classrooms, as supplementary material for students who might want to see/hear the information another way, or for online learning. I’m going to check out some of the MIT introductory biology lectures just to see how the professor handles topics that I, um, don’t love lecturing on (*cough* biochemistry).
